True bacon addicts can finally relax. Thanks to Tactical Bacon, this greasy ambrosia can now be stored for up to 10 years in canned form, making it the perfect addition to any 2012 End-of-Days pantry. Fully cooked and ready to eat, each can contains roughly 54 slices. However, once opened, be prepared to binge with the rest of your surviving compatriots, as any leftovers must be refrigerated from then on. Also, don’t expect a fresh-from-the-griddle taste; these strips are highly preserved and made for the long haul.

The quest to capture and immortalize the taste of bacon for all time is not new. In recent years, an entire industry's worth of bacon related products have hit shelves, ranging from bacon-flavored salt, mayo and mints to bacon-flavored dental floss and gumballs. Unfortunately, while these items may do a relatively fair job of mimicking the mouth watering taste and they manage to “freshen” breath like never before, none of these imitations can replace the real thing. Thus, CMMG’s Tactical Bacon, or Tac Bac, stands out as the first item truly designed to keep the dream of bacon alive, no matter what the future may hold.

Despite its serious appearance (packaged in a black can that features an assault rifle on the label), don’t assume that Tactical Bacon should be held back until Skynet becomes self-aware. Portable and ready to go, Tactical Bacon also makes a great addition for camping trips or other scenarios when refrigeration is impractical, yet the yearning for stripped pork goodness remains.

Fans that prefer their bacon on the crispier side, though, will be slightly disappointed, but some bacon is better than no bacon.

Compared to most other products in this world, a 10-year shelf life is nothing to scoff at. Anything can happen over a decade, and thanks to Tactical Bacon, it’s reassuring that bacon now has the chance to see it through, regardless of what goes down. However, it’s anyone’s guess on how long America’s bacon obsession will last, and Tactical Bacon may not be sold forever. So, for $16, there’s no reason not to include it now in your own set of emergency rations. Plus, if the Four Horsemen never appear, a backup plan for a killer bacon party scheduled for late 2019 isn’t half bad. Hey, you know you're going to get bored of slaying zombies in the apocalypse, so you'll like want to check out the fiendish Japanese pocket puzzle or maybe you'll want to generate your own power with the Sunforce Solar Charging Kit.
